Are you stuck? Feel like you can't get moving forward in life, suffering the horrid effects of a Separation or Divorce?

Perhaps you've had your fill of counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists and the like over the years and nobody has been able to help you. It can be a very frustrating problem, and one that I'm sure many can relate to.

There are many personal reasons why you maybe stuck, all of which are preventing you living a full and exciting life once again, although it may not seem like this is possible right now.

The first question to ask is are you ready to look at why you are stuck, or is too painful? If you are ready, read on.

Maybe you just have an inkling that you might be stuck but it's too hard or painful to think about. Perhaps you have buried it deep in your sub-conscious, unaware as to how stuck you really are, or what's causing it?

A sign that you're stuck and avoiding dealing with it might be that you have various addictions or allow yourself to be distracted by people, things or events that aren't really benefiting you, although you try and fool yourself that they are. Does this ring a bell?

If you are aware, how bad is being stuck bothering you?

Can you identify what problem areas in life you are stuck with, for example those parts of your life that you are not getting what you think you would like?

Well if you can, the first thing to do is get them out of your head, in writing and in front of you, so get out the ol' pen and paper and start jotting them down.

If nothing is coming to you at the moment don't get upset or frustrated, it will in time, possibly when you least expect it. So it's a good idea to always have something handy to record it, wherever you may be, unless you're lucky to have perfect memory retention and recall. Otherwise keep a pen and paper, mobile phone or voice recorder etc with you at all times.

Once you have all the problem areas written down, be happy with yourself, you have done well. This is a big way to getting things better and back in order.

The next step is to deal with one area at a time, so pick which is fundamentally the most important to getting your life back on track. There are a myriad of issues people have, however as a guide a few are listed below.

Physical health, loss and Separation from loved ones, fear, confidence, self worth, returning to work, money, living arrangements, relationships, freedom, mobility and transportation, confusion, your identity, purpose and so on.

Whatever area you pick, a key factor is you have to enjoy some aspect of it. It doesn't matter what, it's your little thing or secret you keep to yourself and can share with God if you so desire. It will get you excited and you will feel good about doing it.

Ensure you do this with all problem areas on your list and see how you go. I wish you all the best.

With love, kindness and peace
